HISTORY

The Department of Unified Protection (D.U.P.) was formed in response to the existential threat posed by the rise of Bio-terrorism. The brainchild of Lieutenant Colonel Brooke Augustine, the D.U.P. has transitioned from a small task force to a major government agency with broad power as the threat of Bio-terrorism has evolved.

Contrary to popular knowledge, the Bio-terrorist threat does not end with the events in New Marais. In reality, attacks from Bio-terrorists continue, forcing the government to act.

The military is brought in to handle rise of new Bio-terrorists attacks. The military proves ineffectual, failing to halt the rising toll of civilian casualties, and incurring an unacceptably high rate of collateral damage.

Under Lt. Col. Augustine's guidance, the Department of Unified Protection is created by emergency executive order from the president. The D.U.P. is a small, rapid response force separate from the military whose sole responsibility is to track, capture and incarcerate Bio-terrorists.

The D.U.P. begins capturing Bio-terrorists in San Diego, Santa Fe and other cities around the U.S. with no loss of civilian life and little property damage.

Success in the capture and containment of Bio-terrorists allows for the expansion of the D.U.P. They begin taking honorable and trusted soldiers diagnosed with the Bio-terrorist gene and infusing them with a lesser version of Lt. Col. Augustine’s concrete ability. This treatment gives the D.U.P. a better advantage in capturing Bio-terrorist safely and efficiently.

Curdun Cay, the detention center that houses the growing number of Bio-terrorists, is retrofitted. The facility and its surrounding buildings are modified to Lt. Col. Augustine’s specifications. Within a year the facility is home to just over 300 Bio-terrorists all safely contained behind its impenetrable walls.

In the D.U.P.’s third year of operation, Brooke Augustine is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her accomplishment of making the world safe from the greatest threat to peace without a single death of Bio-terrorist or civilian.

Lt. Col. Augustine is given the unprecedented authority to declare martial law within any city where she deems it necessary to capture Bio-terrorists. She becomes the first person besides the President and State Governors to wield this extraordinary power.

Bio-terrorist attacks begin to decline as the D.U.P. numbers grow to 5,000 strong.

Since the founding of the D.U.P. seven years ago, no conduits have escaped Curdun Cay, more importantly, no civilians have died in the capturing of Bio-terrorists.

Contrary to overwhelming popular opinion and an exemplary track record, there are those who seek to limit or even shut down the D.U.P., a move that would no doubt prove disastrous for society. We here at the D.U.P. will ALWAYS remain steadfast in our commitment to keep the American people safe and secure.
